Hand TossedHome Oven

An artisan Pacific Northwest round that showcases whole-grain complexity through a blend of heritage flours. A prolonged 48-hour cold cure develops an extensible dough that stretches thin, baking into a crackly, toasted-wheat crust with deep cereal aromas and a crisp, light bite.

Home Oven

Formulated specifically for standard home ovens (maximum 550°F) on preheated baking steel or in a pan.

Temperature550°F
Bake Time5-6 min
SurfacePreheated Baking Steel on Upper Deck

Bake directly on preheated baking steel at 550°F for 5 to 6 minutes. Broiler on HIGH for the final 60 seconds produces crisp micro-blistering.


Phase 1: Dough & Gluten Development

Flour blending, yeast inoculation, hydration rest & kneading

2m
  • Combine 45% pastry flour, 45% Tipo 00, and 10% Type 85 flour with 65% warm water (85°F–90°F) and 0.15% IDY.
  • Mix on Speed 1 for 2 minutes until incorporated.
  • Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
2m
  • Add 2.2% kosher salt, mix 2 minutes on Speed 1, and rest 5 minutes.
  • Stream in 5.0% olive oil, mix 2 minutes on Speed 2, rest 5 minutes, then mix 2 minutes on Speed 2 until smooth (target DDT: 80°F).

Phase 2: Fermentation & Temperature

Ambient bulk rise, portioning, cold proof & room temper

45m
  • Transfer to an oiled container.
  • Bulk ferment for 45 minutes, performing stretch-and-folds at 0, 15, and 30 minutes.
48h
  • Divide dough into 225g portions.
  • Form into smooth balls by cupping and rolling on the bench.
  • Transfer to oiled containers and cold ferment in the refrigerator for 48 hours or up to 4 days.
2h
  • Pull dough from fridge 2 hours before baking.
  • Dredge in semolina rimacinata and stretch over knuckles to a thin round disc.

Phase 4: Oven Launch & Finishing

High-heat baking surface, broiler assist, de-pan & wire rack rest

6m
  • Slide directly onto preheated baking steel in a 550°F home oven.
  • Bake for 5 to 6 minutes until cheese is bubbling and undercarriage is rigid and crisp.
  • Engage broiler on HIGH for final 60 seconds for micro-blistering.
